    the turret is a dead give away whoops :blush: i did not mean to say dead. lol Russian joke.it is a kv 2 good armour yes but a turret that size you might as well paint a target sign on it.
    Sure, but in 1941 the germans did not have an antitank gun (37mm, 50mm) that could penetrate the frontal armour. There is a story of one of these things holding up the German advance on Leningrad, the Germans had to have the infantry lug an 88 flak Kanon around to the flank before they could do any damage to it

    Translation is not completely correct, must be:
    "German soldiers inspect KV-2 and HT-26 that abandoned in tank park of some RKKA division, South-West Front, June 1941". :cowboy_125:
